DAIR & our collaborators call on @facctconference @FAccT
to divest from Israeli apartheid, occupation & genocide. Get our zines on the complicity of the conference's sponsors, & a #NoTechForGenocide pin if you haven't done so already.

Join an emergency meeting on June 5 at 12:50pm Rio time in Grego Room + Zoom, RSVP here: Tomorrow, June 5 at 12:50pm in Grego Room + Zoom, RSVP here: http://bit.ly/FAccT-Palestine http://bit.ly/FAccT-Palestine.

Get your zine at one of the conference tables.

FAccT for a Free Palestine with the Palestinian flag, and sketches of people. Text is in black, with people's graphics in red and green. Condemn the violent occupation of Palestine and refuse funding from complicit corporations.
We demand that the FAccT -- EC & Steering Committee: Condemn the violent occupation of Palestine, and refuse funding from complicit corporations. (photos of people standing and in a wheel chair, next to them stacks of money and bombs).
Its not just FAccT. There are lots of other ways your institutions may be entangled with the genocide in Palestine. 1. Many tech corporations, large and small, contract with the Israeli government -- even non-military contractors. 2. Many of our labs receive grants from the U.S. department of defense, which has massively supported the ongoing Israeli military assaults on Palestine. Even seemingly inoccous projects are often co-opted & used for weapons research. 3. Many of our universities' endowments are invested in arms manufacturers & complicit corporations via their hedge funds. For example, of the University of Michigan's $23B endowment, 62% was in high risk investments connected to weapons manufacturers & the Israeli state. Universities know this, & they are calling the police on their own students & faculty protesting the occupation, sometimes to violent ends. How do we fight back? Start conversations with your colleagues. How can we be more connected? Participate in the ongoing Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement. Where does your money go? Map the flow of military funding into your own research groups. Whose money are you taking? Coordinate actions with your coworkers & colleagues, like sick-outs or sit-ins. What can we accomplish together? Read & sign the HCI Researchers Divestment Pledge (bit.ly/HCIdivest). What do we stand for? For all resoruces, references, & tips, check out bit.ly/facct4palestine.

Hmmm. Wonder what — or who — exactly he hates in New York so much? Hmmm… Who. Could It. Be? 🤔

Seriously though. Remove the blue states from the US and the country is bankrupt. But, sure, go on with your Nazi ghetto fantasies you limp litttle putz.

right now I love #ActivityPub. but something like a Personal Data Server that I can keep at home or pay somebody to manage, move whenever I want and connect to any new service that somebody develops, seems like the inevitable way forward. a blob with all my stuff as safe as I am willing pay for, where these companies are competing to be the most trustworthy and reliable. instead of having it spread out everywhere or with Google or Apple. and them pushing me to use their services. #SocialWeb

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes

Former special assistant of the US Interior Department, Lily Greenberg Call, says President Joe Biden is “using the Jewish community” as “justification” for the country’s military support for Israel.

What forced her to resign was that Biden’s support of Israel has threatened both Jewish and Palestinian people, and is incentivised by American military interest in the Middle East.

CEO interviews are extremely useful. They tell you that you don’t have to take the analysis of that outlet or writer seriously as CEOs don’t grant interviews unless they believe you’re fundamentally on their side.

It's not that we can't meet the needs of the poor, it is that we cannot fulfill the greed of the wealthy.

Hey y'all! so last year on #Juneteenth I started a lil #reparations thread. Some racist assholes took issue with that...

So this year I'll be making multiple threads throughout the month! It's now June where I am so I'm eager to get started.

Black folks, reply w/ your cashapp venmo ko-fi etc etc if you like.

Other folks, (especially if you're benefitting from the federal holiday) throw them coins if you got the means and boost replies in the thread for circulation

:)

pls boost

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
